Notes About The Poem

starry

Listen to poem:

Stardust Serenade

Twinkles dust the dark's silent hush.
Silver sparks lights on soft velvet shade-
Somewhere in the vast cosmos
A baton's tap opens the stardust serenade.

The Milky Way streams in arpeggios,
The galaxies resound in harmonies,
Every star becomes a wind chime
To ring in the stardust serenade.

Constellations join the chorus,
Choirs of zodiac voices displayed,
All together in Heaven’s grand concert hall,
To play the stardust serenade.

Raise the baton, let's all be swayed,
To join in tonight's grand parade,
When the cosmic song of joy is played
In tonight's stardust serenade.
In tonight's stardust serenade.

Nebulae rise up in slow crescendo,
Planets strum bright chords to keep the beat,
Comets streak in with violin glissandi's
Keeping the score for the stardust serenade.

All the universe rocks 'n rolls in time
To the rhythm of shimmering stars,
All is one, as one and all now join
Singing along to the stardust serenade.

When the dawn begins to rise,
The baton falls, calls diminuendo,
Stars begin to fade, bidding farewell
To softly close the stardust serenade.

Raise the baton, let's all be swayed,
To join in tonight's grand parade
When the cosmic song of joy is played
In tonight's stardust serenade.
In tonight's stardust serenade.

I love the musical terms, whilst I was awaiting for the romance? Great choice in song voice, a little bit tin-pan, & little bit country! Congratulations on 2nd place!

I had no idea reading your poem would be a party, a celebration that I'd joyously dance to while singing along with your words. I'm unsure who I was singing along with, but I swear I heard many joyous voices. That's what occurred, I had a very good time.
